The novel was published in serial form in his magazine Household Words. It is also the only novel w ...

He wrote, in any case, near the end of his three-year ministry in Ephesus (1 Cor. 16:5-9; cf. Acts 19:1-22) during his third missionary journey.The city of Corinth sat on the isthmus connectin ...
